Lino? laminate? sheet metal? The pivot may be adjustable (if a bolt) or
stretched (if a rivet). Even for sheet metal, the blades should not be in hard
contact. Like scissors, the blades pull in when operated with the correct hand.
My go-to (14") are about 0.010" (0.25mm) clearance near the pivot, but I have
used larger with better than 1/32". *** This message was sent from a convenience
